Back in April,the r/Xbox Reddit communitypartnered withXboxandSandfall Interactive, the team behindClair Obscur: Expedition 33, to host a one-of-a-kind giveaway, an Expedition 33-themedXbox Series Xconsole, complete with a custom controller and stand.
To enter, contestants had to answer one simple question: If you had to set out on your own expedition to stand against the Paintress and could choose any characters from any game — which THREE would you bring with you and why?
Flash forward to today, and the winner, who choseDevil May Cry’s Dante, Castlevania’s Alucard andDeux Ex’s Adam Jensen, has received their console, and has made everyone jealous with the official pictures of the collectible.
*Insert “It Should Have Been Me” Meme Over And Over
Taking to the same subreddit, u/L34dP1LL proudly showcased their new console in all of its glory, along with some background about being notified of their win.
“At first, I even thought ‘Maybe I’m being scammed,’ but once they gave me the code for the digital copy, I was (like) ‘Oh man, it’s legit!'” they wrote.
Naturally, the commentswere a mix of congratulatory messages, as well asthose filled with jealousy. “That’s so cool! Not jealous at all,“one user cheekily wrote in response, as othersposted the iconic Yu-Gi-Oh meme.
That said,one of the most popular observationswas the fact that Xbox has so many unique custom consoles and controllers, that it’s a shame they’re usually contest exclusives.
Lest we forget,Xbox were the ones behind the iconic Deadpool “Butt” controller, andalso behind the custom Metaphor: ReFantazio controllers that were given away on X. Also,the really cool Halo Infinite Series X that most of us kick ourselves over not purchasing. In other words, Xbox has the goods, and it’s all up to luck whether you win them.
